Experience in a European country. It all started with them asking for past employment history (start and end date with mm/yy), proof of education and authorization for criminal checks around the world. All the info should be provided with the contact detail of a person working at the institution at current times. After the submission, they started asking for more documents and contact details. One batch of information asked per day during 6 working days, so you wait for the notification to understand what's next to proof your innocence. Employment proof of current employer, contract with starting date and last payslip. Contact detail of both line manager and HR. They wrote to the line manager to confirm again data with reminders every day. Same for past employers, but without line managers contact. The number of past employers checked varies based on the agreement with the hiring company. During the process you don't know anything and after uploading everything that you have, you just sit there and wait for 7/8 days waiting for some info. My suggestion is to find a good contact person at HR at your hiring company to get some updates. At the end the experience went well, but you just feel guilty all the time.

I have had to give employment dates & position for an ex-employee which I have. Then they keep sending the same email & repeated replies has no effect. After 5 repeats I call them in London & the phone after a message goes on a fax line!.....This does not look like a caring service as I am merely trying to reply as they asked but seems no one is there to reply ro do anything positive!!!!

I was hired by a company and it has now been three weeks. I gave my notice and have now had to look for a new job because of the time wasted by HireRight. Should be called Hire AT THE SPEED OF GLACIER AND COST PEOPLE POSITIONS!

Only reason they get a star is that was the only way to continue. This company is a complete joke. I sent them my college transcripts, which they said could not be verified with the school only showing on Tech degree. Okay I obtained two degrees from that college both listed on the transcripts. Then told me they could not call an verify a company I worked for I know they are closed permit due to the pandemic. I sent in my w-2 forms for the last 2+years. I then called them went over the information they approved it then the following week when I was to start a new job all of a sudden "Sorry that is not what we need" they pulled the offer. From here on I will ask any employer who they use if they say HireRight no thanks keep that shady company away from my private information. From reading a lot of these comments I see that if you have any medical schooling you are out.

If 0 stars was an option I would have picked it. Asked many times for the same information. Was told things like employment contracts do not meet the standards required. Never had an issue in 20 years. Absolute nightmare. Any company using these to check candidates should look elsewhere. Now looking for a new job.

They keep asking me for the very same information (documents/certificates/contact details) from one of the universities I attended. I provided them with a copy of the university diploma, a full grades transcript, phone and email details of the university department that they would need to contact and, punctually, they come back asking for the very same information all over again. I got on to their live chat and, after a few minutes, they deliberately disconnected me and then sent me an email with the chat transcript apologizing for having lost the connection... Absolutely disgraceful that big corporations have outsourced their services to a useless vendor like HireRight. Note to the applicants using HireRight - this is a vendor that the company you have applied for and have received a job offer from is using to do background checks, to speed processes up, just bypass HireRight altogether and get in touch with the proper/official HR department of the company advising them that HireRight are not able to verify the information/documents you have provided them with. I used this technique and got fully cleared in no time.

21 days and probably a dozen calls to this company and my report is STILL not complete. I’ve uploaded documents just for them to tell me they need more documentation and ask for the SAME thing I just uploaded. Worst company I’ve ever been forced to work with.

I was supposed to do a rotation at a hospital during my medical residency. They did not wait for me to submit all my documents before doing a half asses report, they could not EVEN VERIFY MY MEDICAL SCHOOL GRADUATION EVEN THOUGH IT’SA MATTER OF PUBLIC RECORD EVERYWHERE IN MANY STATE MEDICAL BOARDS. in their report, their Lame background checker called my medical school, was transferred and then they didn’t want to wait so they left a voicemail somewhere and never verified it with anyone. LAZY INCOMPETENT UNPROFESSIONAL INCOMPLETE FRAUDSTERS. This isn’t complete you lazy people!!! Finish and follow up before you casually ruin someone’s expensive training!!!
